Effortless ensembles for Mother’s Day

Mother’s Day, like all holidays, is a day to spend with the people you love, and to think of everyone who takes care of life in our world. Spending hours getting dressed isn’t a luxury most on-the-go women have when they’re planning a day with their families, and with the outfits on these pages, you won’t have to. This season’s trends are as easy as pulling on a soft, breezy dress with embroidered details, or stepping into a one-piece jumper in a bright, summery hue. Comfortable fabrics, like soft denim, are dressed up with pearls, and not just on your neck, but at the trim of pockets and sleeves, and as buttons. It’s combinations that are dressy enough for a fancy brunch out, and at the same time fitting for a casual meal around your own table.

Christina Shilman of Paisley Tree Photography captured a few of the gorgeous Mother’s Day fashions trending around town, modeled in the home of Mike and Brittany Merkel of Aberdeen by Brittany and their three children, Zoey, Ezra, and Beau.

We also want to extend a special thank you to Mainstream Boutique and Matilda Jane by Amber Bergeson for supplying clothing, and Nichole Heinz of Lost and Found Occasionals for decorating the Merkel’s home. //– Jenny Roth
